This Coconut Turmeric Stew is one of my favorite meal-prep meals that’s comforting and perfect for the cold winter months. The rich and flavorful coconut-turmeric broth begs for root vegetables like parsnips, carrots, and potatoes to bathe in it. Accompanied with your favorite protein like tempeh or shrimp and this can become a perfect, reheatable meal to last you a couple of days.

Most people assume plant-based meat is bland and flavorless, and that’s because many don’t understand how to work meat alternatives. This coconut turmeric tahini marinade is quick, easy, affordable and delicious to use for any main dish. Soak tempeh, tofu, chicken, or fish in this for a rich and decadent summer meal.

Curries are the epitome of comfort and cozy vibes during the dead of winter, but let’s face it- we crave summer during that time. This mango-coconut curry satisfies the depth and richness that’s necessary during sub-zero temperatures while exuding tropical vibes to get you through an extra 6 weeks of winter. Serve with your favorite protein (crispy tofu for two, please) and a wedge of lime for a perfect weeknight meal inside.

Low effort meals scream my name during the winter. Nothing beats coming home from the actual arctic to a meal already prepped and spiced for you to devour that evening. This orzo bowl is perfectly spiced with the warming flavors of curry and packed with creamy, tangy flavors of coconut and lime. All that’s needed is some roast time for your favorite winter produce, like butternut squash and eggplant, to complete this nutritious meal.
